The nature of our invention consists in making the hinge as shown in Figure A, to have t-he upper portion B act up as a cap, to be used either right or left, and so as to cover the pivot, and protect it from rain or damp.

The other part of the hinge C is bearing the pivot, and is also made to be used right or left.

The ring, or ferrule, marked D, is so arranged that in reversing it, it will fasten the shutter to t-he walls when open also to fasten'when the shutters are closed.
